Digital Cameras + War = Scandals
 

There was the first soldier, Iraqi boys, and the cardboard sign.

Then the first wave of Iraqi soldier photos.

Now there's another wave of Iraqi soldier photos.

And here's a U.S. Guardsman taking pics of female soldiers in the shower...

I'm pretty sure these things happen on both sides in most wars, but technolgy is adding to the methods we record and hahahahahahahaha events. Crazy times on the horizon...

were just going to keep getting more and more scandals!

Digital cameras should not be allowed over in Iraq.

We need to get back to using them for what they were intended which is secretly photographing drunk college chicks at frat parties...:thumbsup

uhhh, that sounds like the next scandal, I wonder how long US government can afford that without aftermath

The Contra Costa Times, which broke the story on Wednesday, quoted Spc. Myrna Hernandez, 26, as saying she saw Merck photograph her as she was showering with two other women.

"I saw a guy get on all fours with a digital camera in his hands. His head was going under the wall, and we made eye contact," she told the newspaper. "I was in shock, like what do I do now?"



lol...

me + beer = drunk fatassed webmaster

... but yeah I'm sure this stuff is nothing new, we just hear about it now instead of in WW2 since the tgechnology has become easier and more portable.

Not just digital, canada had same problem back in somalia with regular cameras. Ive been saying since this started, cameras need to be banned in war zones.

That site would get humongous traffic.

I think our government would like to agree with you on that, banning all the bad stuff from being shown. But that can't and won't be done. Who's to decide where the war zone is, was, or will be? Are you going to go into every city we invade and take all the civilian cameras? And with technology the way it is..cameras are only getting smaller and more powerful.

They're everywhere..banning isn't an option.

They can ban the soldiers from having them. This isnt a media problem. Soldiers with cameras are bad news.

:winkwink:

Great, content!

Yeah...a couple hundred thousand men with guns is normally bad news, too. Doesn't seem to stop anything. :winkwink: But travelling around the world without a camera really would suck. There isn't any real solution...

where are the pics?
